No. Meerkats are placental mammals, meaning they give birth to live young. The only egg-laying mammals (monotremes) are platypuses and echidnas.
The collective noun for meerkats is a "mob," "gang," or "clan." These terms reflect their social structure, as meerkats live in groups and exhibit cooperative behaviors. In a mob, they work together for foraging, protection, and raising young.
Birds of prey, such as eagles and hawks, are known to eat meerkats, particularly when they are young or vulnerable. These birds utilize their sharp talons and keen eyesight to hunt small mammals, including meerkats, in their natural habitats. Additionally, larger birds like the African fish eagle may also prey on meerkats when the opportunity arises.
There is usually a babysitter and if no one volunteers then the pups are forced to go.
Yes larger birds can eat them along with other Meerkats. If a Meerkat is young and is found by another gang they will eat it.
they aren't endangered.
